Vṛndāvana Candra Dāsa

''I am offering my respectful obeisances unto the spiritual master by whose mercy a dumb man can become a great speaker and a lame man can cross over a mountain, and whose thus delivers all fallen souls."
May I learn to love You, Srila Prabhupada, dearest father, friend and master only in this way will there be no more love for the maya witch. Unconditional surrender-this is the price you ask that I pay. So I ask for nothing more than to utilize my life's energy exclusively in Your loving service. For if I cannot hear of Your glories, better that I were deaf. And if I am unable to see You, better for me to be blind. And if I cannot serve in some insignificant way, then it is best that I die. Srila Prabhupada, You are everything.
Always Your servant,
Vrndavana Candra Dasa
